Thick wire tend's to have less transient snap,blurry soundstages and what some call time smear IMHO of course.If you have low impedance speaker's and a high power amp then thicker wire is recommended. It's best to use several smaller gauge wires to equal a single thick conductor if possible.For the average 6-10ft length of cable 9awg is totally over kill IMHO.
